- MacWarehouse (and MacConnection, I think) has a product called PowerKey (most
- of its functions you don't need for a IIci) which comes with a cdev which
- provides programmable powerups and powerdowns just like you describe. The price
- is $75. For an additional $35, you can get an add-on that allows you to power
- up with a phone call.
